What I find incomprehensible is how they'd aim. Like where are you putting your crosshairs in relation to the target? Waaaay up and to the left?
Aim at the target. They adjust the scope to account for the distance, wind, temperature, humidity and altitude. As long as their measurements, math and the settings are all perfect, then they have a chance. Assuming the target doesn't move or change direction for a couple seconds, the breeze is consistent, etc.
